Ndamukong Suh has emerged as one of the league's top rookies, a powerful pass rusher on Detroit's defensive line with the ability to disrupt any offense. The only question is whether Suh might actually be too aggressive - but the Lions aren't about to tell him to change. ``That's why he's here,'' safety Louis Delmas said. ``He got drafted with the second pick to do what he does, and he's doing a good job at it |

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz was relatively quiet in his postgame news conference about referee Ed Hochuli calling unnecessary roughness on his rookie defensive lineman. But after watching replays of Ndamukong Suh's hit on Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler during Sunday's win by the Bears, and after getting Hochuli's explanation, Schwartz felt compelled to speak up. ``The flag was thrown because Cutler was hit in the back of the head when he was in the process of going down,'' |
